Look at the hieroglyphs - were is the glyph for w and what means the last sign?--Mychele (talk) 18:40, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "w" is given in parentheses because it's not always written. The last glyph is a "mouth". The viper and the mouth are sometimes written with the "nefer" sign to indicate nfr. I think the spelling comes from Ranke? --AnnekeBart (talk) 19:08, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see "f" and "r" but I can't see "n". I think you forget this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.136.182.237 (talk) 11:15, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No the n is part of the nfr sign (heart and windpipe). The spelling used in the unicode transliteration comes from de:Bunefer. The hieroglyphic spelling is supported by what is written in Tyldesley and Grajetzki, --AnnekeBart (talk) 12:12, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So actually sign for beauty or nfr is here a sign for "n", while signs for "f" and "r" are separate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.53.179.232 (talk) 13:08, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The nfr part of the name is spelled out by the nefer sign plus the f and r glyph. I have seen the same in the writing of htp. That can be made up of the hotep glyph but with an extra t and p glyph --AnnekeBart (talk) 13:22, 20 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]
